Here's one I whipped up a few weeks ago, run:

python -c "import time; print time.localtime(1174521600)[-1]"

This checks the DST flag at Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT.  If the
command prints '0' you need to update your timezone file.  If the
command prints '1' you're probably good.  If it prints '-1'... well...
email me, because something may be broken!
